Local RC&D Councils in the USDA NRCS Designated StrikeForce regions have been working to increase NRCS outreach to historically underserved farmers and landowners.
RC&D Councils have developed radio shows that are relevant and meet the needs of underserved farmers and landowners using USDA program information and the local RC&D Council’s understanding of the customer. These radio shows are to inform underserved farmers and landowners on how to access USDA conservation assistance through the USDA StrikeForce for Rural Growth and Opportunity Initiative to address their natural resource concerns.
